Spring Creek Greenway (19-Sep-2026)

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 13:30:00 GMT

All,

For our September ride, we will be riding riding the totally traffic-less, and very scenic, Spring Creek Greenway! If you haven't seen it, is a hidden GEM in the Houston area. It offers 14 miles of a very smooth, wide, greenway path that rolls through gentile hills through shaded forests and overlooks the beautiful Spring Creek which resembles a small canyon over-look in some cases.

It is not very "Hammerhead" friendly so we advise against long pace lines and excessive speed. Sometimes you just have to slow down and enjoy the ride & scenery.

If you look at the course, a single out & back will yield 32 miles but ride portions or all of the course, multiple times to gain extra mileage!

Arrive early (7:30am) to ensure enough time to get your gear ready and hear the safety and ride announcements. We roll out at 8 am.

Please park at the Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center.

There is plenty of shade and a restroom there.

Please study the maps on Ride with GPS, download files to your Navigation device and print a copy of Map and Turn instructions if you require paper copies.

Volunteer Requirements

Food Purchaser & OIC are required, please sign up early to help your club run smoothly.
Email volunteer@slbcycling.org with questions

PREPARATION: Make sure to prepare yourself during the week so Friday evening you can relax and sleep easy knowing you are ready for the training ride. Preparing yourself and your equipment will minimize the need for assistance during the ride. Bike - ABC Check

Be aware of your surroundings – Be observant and scan the horizon ahead. Slow down at turns as there maybe gravel/sand/debris on the side of the roads. Roads can often be slippery due to the morning mist.

Pace line – One must be extra cautious while riding in a pace line. One mistake can cause a series of accidents! Only ride with people you know and trust. If you are joining a pace line announce yourself to the person in front. If you don’t know the person in front don’t ride close to their wheel, maintain a safe distance. Always be vigilant of the pace of the person in front of you and also your surroundings!

Parking - Please park at the Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center.

BIKE SAFETY: MS 150 Education

Communication – It is very important to communicate with other riders when riding in a group. Call out- debris, gravel, loose sand, pot holes, train tracks, any hazard small or big, car up, car back! If the rider in front of you calls out a hazard, you should call it out too so that the rider behind you is aware of it. Call out the hazard and if it's some debris on the road, point at it when possible so that riders afar who may not hear you but can see your gesture would be aware of the hazard.

Pace line – One must be extra cautious while riding in a pace line. One mistake can cause a series of accidents! Only ride with people you know and trust. If you are joining a pace line, it is very important to let the person in front of you know that you are riding behind him or her. If you don’t know the person in front don’t ride close to their wheel, maintain safe distance. Always be vigilant of the pace of the person in front of you and also your surroundings!
